Dennis Lubanga, a Kenyan journalist at TUKO.co.ke, brings more than 10 years of experience covering politics, news, and feature stories across digital and print media in Kenya.

Nairobi - Raila Odinga diehard supporter Nuru Okanga has called out detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who recently arrested him.

In a now-viral video, Okanga claimed that the officers dragged him from the bathroom while he was taking a shower.

"Mimi nataka kuomba DCI wale walinishika. Mlinifanyia madharau. Sheria ya Kenya inasema kama mtu amekaidi amri ndio mnaeza mvuruga. Hamuwezi nitoa kwa bafu mbele ya familia yangu ikiona uchi wangu. (I want to tell the DCI officers who arrested me that you wronged me. You can't forcefully drag me out of the bathroom and parade me before my family)," Okanga said.

Why Nuru Okanga felt he was disrespected by the DCI officers

Okanga told the officers that despite them being at work, they disrespected him.

"So, mi naomba DCI wale walikuja kunishika mlikuwa kazi lakini mlinifanyia kitu mbaya. Kwa kimila ya Waluhya ni vibaya mtoto kuona uchi wa mzazi wake. Ni kama nimeelani watoto kama Mimi ni lazima. (I just want to tell those DCI offices that in the Luhya culture it is wrong for a child to see their parents' nakedness)," Okanga added.

According to the political activist, whatever the offices did might have been good to them but wrong to him.

"So hiyo kitu mlifanya, kwenu ilionekana vizuri lakini kwangu vibaya. Sitakuwa na mengi kwa sababu naweza ongea vibaya nirudi ndani. Niko na hasira naeza kasirika kuliko hapo. Kesi iko kortini tukutane tarehe kumi na tatu. (What you did was right before your eyes but not mine. I don't want to talk much but let's meet in court on December 13," said Okanga.

Why Nuru Okanga was arrested

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported that Okanga is facing criminal charges for using unprintable insults against President William Ruto.

He was charged with one count of publication of false information, contrary to Section 23 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act.

According to the prosecution, Okanga's claims as captured in a video were false and calculated to discredit the reputation of a state officer with the intent to provoke a breach of peace.
